NEMSOS TO BØDA DAY 114 303km.

Woke up at 4 am by the howling wind and rain and had to leave to get to the ferry by 10:30 which is 80km away. After breakfast it eased up so packed my wet tent and set off just making it in time for the ferry.




Followed the Coastal Scenic Route all the way up to Bøda stopping in Saltstraumen to see the fastest current in the world, getting up to 21 knots when one fjord drains into the other one from low tide to high tide. 
Got a room at Smart Hotel, tiny room where I dried out my tent and did some laundry. Walked around the town but only has a harbour and a number of hotels.
Roads were wet the entire way with showers off and on all day but very scenic with a few fjords and mountain passes and still had some long tunnels.
1 litre gas $2.42
500ml water $2.00
